"Our Board of Directors believes the special one-time dividend is an effective vehicle for delivering value to our shareholders without compromising our strong balance sheet, financial flexibility and strategic growth trajectory, nor our ability to continue investing in our business," said Andrew Sculley, President and CEO.

Our Board remains committed to enhancing shareholder value based on its consideration of various factors, including the Company's operating results, financial condition and anticipated capital requirements."
